The 105th annual American International Toy Fair brought thousands of toy
makers, industry players  and fun-loving gawkers  to New York City
this week. From an eerily life-like new Elmo to digital cameras for dogs,
here's a look at some of the most notable toys, games, and gadgets of 2008.

ME2

By IToysFor ages 8+
$34.99

ME2 stands for "My Electronic Double" and has several components: it's a
handheld toy that connects to your computer, and gives kids access to a
virtual play space (me2universe.com),
where their avatars run around freely, play strategic games, and interact
with other avatars. Here's the catch: your online energy levels and
purchasing power (to "buy" virtual items) depends on the amount of steps
you've actually taken in real life. That handheld game-playing device? You
might also call it a pedometer.
